Have Style, Will Travel

Tom Brady Knows How to Stay Ahead of the Pack

Published on June 30, 2008

Whether it's for games across the county, tours of Africa with Bono or trips to Ibiza with Gisele, Tom Brady logs a lot of time in the sky. We're not sure if dating a supermodel has upped his style game, but seeing this shot of Brady and his lady (minutes after landing at LAX), proves the guy knows how to travel in style. Here's some suggestions on how to cop the QB's off-the-field look. You're now free to roam about the page.

Hat
We're not totally sold on the hat, but if you're on a long flight, you'll want to sleep. And with sleep, comes the telltale bed head, so a coverup may not be such a bad idea. D&G by Dolce & Gabbana cadet cap, $95 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Shades
Flying? A well-made pair of aviators is in order. They'll shade you from the sun's glare while you're trying to sleep and send a signal to your seat-mate that you're not looking to chat. Ray-Ban aviators, $160 ($125 at Amazon).

Scarf
Grab a lightweight scarf in a neutral color and never cease to be amazed at its handiness--opened as a cover up for your girl, balled up for a pillow or protecting a fragile souvenir like bubble wrap. Oh, and it can keep you warm too. Cotton scarf, $22 at ASOS.com.

Half-zip Sweater
Simple enough to wear with a tee and jeans or refined enough to layer under a blazer, the half-zip may be the only sweater you'll need to pack. This cotton and cashmere version is a little lighter--perfect for year-round wear. Sweater, $85, at J.Crew.

Pants
Ditch the sloppy sweats. Tom sports a pair of twill chinos in a classic denim cut--lighter than a pair of jeans and just dressed up enough to go from the gate to dinner. Five-pocket kahkis, $36 by Dockers.
